3.1 Phillip Lim

IF the Bryan Ferry lyric quoted on Phillip Lim's programme notes didn't clue you in to the fact that the designer was in a musical mood, the presence of indie rock darling Lissy Trullie at the head of the stage and the dry ice curling up from the runway certainly did the trick.

The Sixties rock style thing has also been done to death (Talitha Getty embroidered tunic? Check. Sergeant Pepper jacket? Check. Joplin tie-dyed mini, Bowie glam striped jeans, Brian Jones ruffled blouse? Check, check, check). But it was fun to revisit, given Lim's penchant for putting his own quirky-cool spin on everything he touches.

Take his "Birtwell" black floral burnout dress, for instance, which featured an elegant beaded yoke - a signature Lim detail. Likewise, the moleskin double-breasted suit worn by one male model had a vintage-style velvet collar, but felt modern thanks to the cropped, boxy silhouette Lim favours. And a grey mélange burnout tunic looked as comfy as an old concert tee, but Lim upped the chic factor considerably by pairing it with a gold paillette coat.

Ironically, the person who kept popping into our head while watching this neo-nostalgic outing was not Mick Jagger or Jimmy Page, but Marc Jacobs and his Marc by Marc line, as that's what Lim seemed to really be paying tribute to.
